Configure Azure AD SSO

In the Azure portal, on the Sigstr application integration page, find the Manage section and select single sign-on.

On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.

On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, click the edit/pen icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

On the Basic SAML Configuration section, the application is pre-configured and the necessary URLs are already pre-populated with Azure. The user needs to save the configuration by clicking the Save button.

Sigstr application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes. Click Edit icon to open User Attributes dialog.

In addition to above, Sigstr application expects few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response. In the User Claims section on the User Attributes dialog, perform the following steps to add SAML token attribute as shown in the below table:

Name

Source Attribute

email

user.mail

Click Add new claim to open the Manage user claims dialog.

In the Name textbox, type the attribute name shown for that row.

Leave the Namespace blank.

Select Source as Attribute.

From the Source attribute list, type the attribute value shown for that row.

Click Ok

Click Save.

On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Certificate (Raw) and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.

On the Set up Sigstr section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.

Configure Sigstr SSO

To configure single sign-on on Sigstr side, you need to send the downloaded Certificate (Raw) and appropriate copied URLs from Azure portal to Sigstr support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create Sigstr test user

In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in Sigstr. Sigstr supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There is no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in Sigstr, a new one is created after authentication.

In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration using the Access Panel.
